Windows VPN Errors

University IT engineers have identified the potential for a connection error (Error 789) when using the native VPN client on Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit) machines with Service Pack 1 installed. When machines running these operating systems enter sleep or hibernate modes, or abruptly disconnect (for example, by closing a laptop when traveling between meetings) during a VPN session, users may be unable to re-establish a connection until the session timer expires.
